Anyone know about the boulder problem/TR that is shown in the picture. C'mon old school slabmasters, this ones probably the best I've seen in the park. I can get to a mantle about half way up but need to keep working it. Probably V5 or 5.12 ish and 30' high.

If that is the polished slab up and right as you just get into the park entrance, it was done in the '80's by the Chongo brothers and we always called it the Chongo Shield, and they top-roped it. Chongo Dave said he thought it was .12a.

Hey Bato!
You HAVE to come out for the Woodson deal! Would be great to see you, gonna be some oldies there, we'll all catch up and socialize, maybe get a few problems! Whada say?
Peace

Just what I had heard long ago, and it was the face they were working on...I'd gone up to it myself many moons ago but after hearing that it had gone put it on the back burner...Was way self absorbed in the FA fever at that time...

Yeah BIOTCH, it's kind of small and right at the gate...Our heroic one's were on there way in for adventures on a slightly grander scale...Not to say it's not a fine chunk but the Chongo's didn't really chime up too much about it, nor I might not think back then that they would have reported it in at Nomad's, although they should have I guess if they could...

I finnaly talked to Dave Tucker who also called his brother Rich and they both stated to have NOT climbed the center of the face. Rich did the left arete. He tried the center face but never succeded. This really is one of the best slabs in the park. Anyone else hear of this thing being done?
